One who holds all power here
One who creates without fear

The ebb and flow of life itself
Is just a notebook on a shelf

The game of life is their's to lose
The world itself is what they choose

The stars are made from pure desire
The people like Athena sired

They conjure all the plants, and trees
And shape their own morality

The beasts may talk, or sing, or dance
And villains get a second chance

Such power comes with an awful cost
For he must face all he has lost

The self-doubt forever haunting
And great risks forever daunting

Not only in reality
But also walking in a dream

Those they love grow ever distant
Young lust will lose all enchantment

What was once safety and comfort
Now rains attack with maximum effort

Through it all, one born to create
Regardless of love turned hate

To crush Fear in all of her splendor
He does it all just to spite her

That one is The Writer.
